abstract = "Client-side Javascript execution environments
(browsers) allow anonymous functions and event-based
programming concepts such as callbacks. We investigate
whether a mutate-and-test approach can be used to
optimise web page load time in these environments.
First, we characterise a web page load issue in a
benchmark web page and derive performance metrics from
page load event traces.We parse Javascript source code
to an AST and make changes to method calls which appear
in a web page load event trace.We present an operator
based solely on code deletion and evaluate an existing
community-contributed performance optimising code
transform. By exploring Javascript code changes and
exploiting combinations of non-destructive changes, we
can optimise page load time by 41percent in our
benchmark web page.",
